Munchak: Offensive line faltered vs. Falcons

Titans Coach Mike Munchak is a former offensive line coach who played the position at a Hall of Fame level. He has a gold jacket to prove it.

He was not proud of the way the offensive line played in a 23-17 loss to the Falcons. Chris Johnson managed only 13 yards on 12 carries, and Munchak said the line didn’t do much to help the running back.

On too many plays the Falcons got way too much penetration as the Titans were slow off the ball and linemen got beat, the coach said.

“I could sit here and say, ‘Man, I wish we would’ve had 30 carries.’ Well we didn’t earn the right for 30 carries. You have to get more than one or two yards to get a chance to do it more often,” Munchak said Monday. “I don’t think as a group, for the limited time we had to run it, we didn’t block well. It was very average and inconsistent.”
